Hey guys I'm not sure if this is the proper forum so I apologize if it's not. I have recently acquired a rather unusual 1935 Lincoln Wheat. I am almost positive it is not PMD but I have some stuff to rule out before I post pictures. My daughter and I are really trying to do this on our own before letting you pro's answer it lol. We've done a pretty fair amount of research but have a few questions for you guys. Thanks in advance for any and all help, this site has really helped the two of us step our game up.

1) What's coins (us or foreign) were minted in Philadelphia between 1934 and 1936? We have found 2 different check list but they both have different countries.
2) What's coins from the same time frame had ships? I know a good portion of the commerative silver coins had ships but not sure if I missed any.
3) Did the U.S. ever mint coins on foreign soil? I imagine not but not 100% sure.
4) What's process outside of the mint could cause raised designs on the reverse of a coin without damaging the obverse,
5) And finally can anybody post pictures/videos or links of dies and the minting process for the 1935 LWC?

Thanks again for the help guys, Chris and Juli

First, I'm happy that you and your daughter are in this together. Investigation can actually be fun.

Second, I don't have an answer for your questions (I've found conflicting sources online for foreign coins minted by the US).

Third, if there is a specific coin in question then please do post pics of the whole coin: both sides with background cropped out. Any additional info like weight, diameter and thickness would also be helpful.

1. The Mint has published numerous records detailing the coins produced by US Mints for foreign governments. If you're looking for accuracy, these should be the documents that you reference in your research. The information that they contain may conflict some, but should not be largely different. Here is a version from 1980: https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Reco...n%20mint&ft=Start at page 102.

2. The Hudson NY half, Long Island tercentenary half, Delaware tercentenary half, and Norfolk Virginia half all had ships. There may be others. I cannot speak for foreign coins minted in US Mints.

3. The Manila, Philippines Mint comes to mind.

4. There are probably endless possibilities. Certain heat damage, scraping or denting the surfaces with various objects could create raised surfaces on a coin.

5. Here is probably the closest you will come to the minting process and coin dies of that period:

Good luck Chris and Juli!

We would love to see the coin you are referring to, once you have done the research on the mystery.
